The bow slips free of harbor chatter and the sea takes over: wind on your face, the western shore of Menorca unfurling in terraces of white limestone and pine, coves cut like spoons into the coastline. Over seven hours the boat threads along the island’s southwest flank — anchor set, swims, a paella lunch served from the deck — each stop an invitation to step into clear water or walk a short coastal path.

The bow slips free of harbor chatter and the sea takes over: wind on your face, the western shore of Menorca unfurling in terraces of white limestone and pine, coves cut like spoons into the coastline. Over seven hours the boat threads along the island’s southwest flank — anchor set, swims, a paella lunch served from the deck — each stop an invitation to step into clear water or walk a short coastal path.
This coastline bears layers of history: the Camí de Cavalls, an ancient path once used to patrol the island, skirts the beaches and offers quick access to viewpoints such as es Talaier. Geologically, the coast is carved from Cretaceous limestone with small cliffs, pebble shelves and sand-filled coves that concentrate the Posidonia seagrass beds offshore — the reason the water here is so clear. Culturally, local cuisine and seafaring traditions meet on-board in a simple mixed paella and ice-cooled drinks.
Practically, expect three main swim stops: Son Saura (with a short walk option to es Talaier), Cala Turqueta for snorkeling, and the twin bays Macarella and Macarelleta. Bring reef-safe sunscreen, swim shoes for rocky shore entries, and a mask if you want to explore the seabed. The trip is rated easy — minimal fitness required — but sun exposure and slippery decks are real considerations. Plan: arrive with a mobile or paper boarding pass, hydrate before boarding, secure electronics in a dry bag, and time your swims to the crew’s instructions. This is a full-day, accessible way to experience Menorca’s best southwest beaches by sea.
Departure is from the pickup point listed on your booking confirmation in the southwest harbor area near Ciutadella; bring your mobile or paper boarding pass.
